Vitarade® Carboloader Gel fueled by Vitargo® was designed for athletes and active people, who want to be optimally prepared for physical effort. During preparation for tough training sessions, competitions or team games one of the most important things is to build up the maximum amount of muscle and liver glycogen1,2. Muscle and liver glycogen are the main sources of energy during any kind of physical activity3. It means that every athlete and active person needs to consume an increased amount of carbohydrates to store proper amounts of glycogen and be optimally prepared for upcoming effort. Nowadays there are different types of carbohydrates available on the market, each one with a different influence on gastric emptying rate and muscle glycogen resynthesis rate.
Vitarade® Carboloader Gel fueled by Vitargo® contains patented high molecular mass carbohydrates of low osmolality (tab. 2), whose chemical structure is similar to glycogen molecule (tab. 1) and which increases muscle glycogen resynthesis rate. High molecular mass carbohydrates from Vitarade® Carboloader Gel fueled by Vitargo® guarantee up to 80% higher gastric emptying rate and up to 70% faster glycogen resynthesis compared to regular sport drinks containing simple sugars and disaccharides (glucose, fructose, saccharose, trehalose, isomaltulose). The effectiveness of high molecular mass carbohydrates contained in Vitarade® Carboloader Gel fueled by Vitargo® was proved during the clinical trials in Karolinska Institute in Stockholm.

Proper preparation for upcoming physical activity requires consumption of large amounts of carbohydrates reaching even 8 – 12 g/kg of bodyweight daily6,7. High carbohydrate intake is recommended in every phase of intensive trainings, competitions or team games, when the rest periods between workouts/competitions are very short. High carbohydrate intake is essential for so called „supercompensation” of carbohydrates. Such amounts of carbohydrates require consuming a lot of food for efficient glycogen „loading” and preparation for an effort. Large volumes of regular carbohydrate products fill the stomach inhibiting the appetite; therefore it’s harder to consume the required amount of carbohydrates. The best solution during the periods of increased carbohydrates requirement is the consumption of high energy density products containing large amount of carbohydrates in small product volume.
Vitarade® Carboloader Gel fueled by Vitargo® is a source of fast and easy assimilated carbohydrates, therefore it supports resynthesis of carbohydrates during the short periods between following workouts or games or during the preparations for upcoming prolonged physical effort.
Vitarade® Carboloader Gel fueled by Vitargo® is an effective and concentrated source of high molecular mass carbohydrates and maltodextrines that efficiently support preparation for intense exercise. Due to its low osmolality high molecular mass carbohydrates empty the stomach very fast and don’t cause the feeling of stomach fullness. Addition of maltodextrines guarantees the steady release of carbohydrates into bloodstream; therefore frequent use of Vitarade® Carboloader Gel fueled by Vitargo® ensures steady and the most efficient muscle and liver glycogen synthesis.
Due to gel form Vitarade® Carboloader Gel fueled by Vitargo® provides optimal amount of carbohydrates in a low product volume, increasing the effectiveness of carbohydrate loading without excessive stomach filling.1 Consuming Vitarade® Carboloader Gel fueled by Vitargo® is the best solution for any athlete or active person, who has problems with meeting their carbohydrates requirements with regular diet including carbohydrate products or drinks. Only 3 packages of Vitarade® Carboloader Gel fueled by Vitargo® can be a substitute of almost full plate of rice, barley, pasta or a full plate of potatoes, allowing consumption of proper amount of carbohydrates and preparation for heavy physical activity.
Vitarade® Carboloader Gel fueled by Vitargo® is a source of sodium and potassium, key electrolytes responsible for optimal functioning of muscle tissue, body fluid homeostasis and efficient absorption of glucose and water from intestines into the bloodstream. Addition of these key electrolytes makes Vitarade® Carboloader Gel fueled by Vitargo® the optimal product during preparation for prolonged and/or intense exercise.
Vitarade® Carboloader Gel fueled by Vitargo® is a perfect source of concentrated carbohydrates of optimal consistency. Liquid gel form makes it easy to consume straight from the package without the need of flushing it down with water, as it is common with the regular carbohydrate gels. Fluid form of gel ensures that the whole package can be emptied very quickly. Due to optimal formula and consistency Vitarade® Carboloader Gel fueled by Vitargo® is a great substitute for others carbohydrate gels, ensuring maximal efficiency of carbohydrates loading.
Vitarade® Carboloader Gel fueled by Vitargo® is packed in convenient packages that make it easy to storage and transport, therefore this concentrated source of carbohydrates can be easily available at any time of a day, at work, in travel or at home, no matter of fluid availability. Low volume of the Vitarade® Carboloader Gel fueled by Vitargo® makes it easy to carry even in situations, where carrying larger amounts of food or fluids would be inconvenient. It can be easily carried in a pocket or a handbag.
Vitarade® Carboloader Gel fueled by Vitargo® tastes great, so every taken portion encourages further use, ensuring optimal replenishing and muscle and liver glycogen synthesis.
